New beginning in Lanka, says Indian Minister

There is a new beginning in Sri Lanka, said Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna.Addressing the UN General Assembly on Saturday, Krishna said India has asked the world community to urgently help bring to justice the perpetrators of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, saying it is their collective responsibility and duty to fight the “malignant menace” of terrorism.

“The barbaric terrorist attack on the innocent people of Mumbai on Nov. 26, 2008 reminds us of the daily and malignant menace that terrorism poses to all countries,” the Minister said. “It is our collective responsibility and duty to work together to ensure that terrorists, organizers, perpetrators and supporters of such crimes are brought to justice,” he said.

Noting that there cannot be any justification for mindless terrorist attacks on innocent people, he said: “It is our collective responsibility and duty to work together to ensure that terrorists, organisers, perpetrators and supporters of such crimes are brought to justice.” He said peace, security, stability and welfare of India’s neighbourhood is vital for New Delhi.
